Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 728 Tonight is the anniversary of your deaths!

Haibara and Conan maintained a degree of rationality amidst the crowd, using each other's voices to locate one another, preventing them from being completely swept away by the crowd and losing their positions.

"Conan, what are you doing here?"

In his panic, Conan suddenly heard a call, and before he could look, he was lifted into the air.

He was used to this situation, and just rolled his eyes helplessly.

Upon recognizing the person, he exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Iori Muga! What are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that? I remember you were investigating that man in black with that kid from Osaka. Is the man in black right here?"

A dark glint flashed in Iori Muga's eyes, but Conan didn't notice.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Haibara is right here. Help me take her away."

The moment she was caught, Ai Haibara felt a jolt in her heart. By the time she realized what was happening, she had been taken to a safe corner, with Conan looking at the hotel with a serious expression next to her.

Still shaken, she immediately looked around but couldn't find the source of her anxiety, so she had to give up.

Because there were no further explosions, the building structure reached a strange state of equilibrium, and the hotel's tilt seemed to have stopped, remaining crooked like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

"It seems that Uncle Xia Chuan and the others are alright now, right?"

Conan glanced back at Ai Haibara, thought for a moment, and then said, "Not necessarily, because Iori Muga came, and he brought quite a few people with him."

He was somewhat worried. The group of people led by Iori Muga were all dressed in black. At first glance, he thought they were peripheral members of the brewery. After Iori Muga explained, he realized that these people were the bodyguard team of the Ooka family.

His bulging waist made him feel a little scared.

In Japan, a non-state agency is openly carrying a gun on its waist!
He knew of former Prime Minister Toramasa Ooka's status in Japanese politics, but he didn't expect that even after decades in office, he still had such influence.

Even former prime ministers couldn't have their own independent security force; at most, they could only receive state protection.

Ai Haibara saw a lot through Conan's eyes.

Confusion, worry, confusion, and a hint of restlessness!
"Hey, what are you trying to do? We can't even beat the brewery, do you want to offend that guy from the Ooka family?"

Although Ai Haibara was imprisoned for many years, it did not mean that she was completely unaware of the situation in Japan. After she became Ai Haibara, she saw news about the Ooka family on television many times.

Although Ooka Toramasa has stepped down, he still wields considerable influence, as evidenced by the large number of politicians and top businessmen attending his birthday banquet.

Moreover, that strange throbbing sensation also worried Ai Haibara; the feeling was very similar to the feeling the organization had given her!

Conan clenched his fist, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally sighed.

Exit of the underground parking lot.

Despite being right at the exit, Xia Chuan and his two companions were blocked there, locked in a six-eyed stare-down with Gin.

They had just exchanged blows for a while.

With his injury, Joel's strength was greatly reduced, and Xia Chuan, due to his concerns, was also unable to fully exert his strength.

As for Hattori Heiji, he's just a minor character, lacking kendo equipment, so he can't achieve anything.

"Xia Chuan, you took something you shouldn't have taken."

"Oh, really? So that's your excuse for hitting children?"

"Heh, from the day you offended the organization, you should have known that those around you would not have a good ending."

Gin glanced at Hattori Heiji and Joel, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

Although no words were spoken, the threat was crystal clear. "Hand over what Granwitt left behind, and that batch of gold, or you will not escape today."

As he spoke, he suddenly added, "Of course, even if they run away, it's fine. They can run away, but they can't hide. Teitan Elementary School, Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters, right?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"What, can't you tell?"

"Gin, if you dare to lay a hand on Anya and Ai Haibara, I will not let your organization get away with this!"

Joel glared fiercely at Gin, but the pain made her appear weak and helpless, her words pale and powerless, making one want to hold her in their arms to comfort her.

"What a joke! You really think you can get away with this? Tonight is your death anniversary!"

Vodka glanced at his phone, his smile now wide and uncontrollable.

The reinforcements from the outer perimeter arrived quickly and are now at the entrance. As soon as the leader gives the order, the outer perimeter members will swarm in and riddle Xia Chuan and his two companions with bullets.

As for one of them being the son of the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief? Sorry, even if he were beaten to a pulp, it would be impossible to recognize him. With the Ooka family cleaning up his mess, at most he'd be considered missing.

Disappearance does not equate to death, and even the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief had no excuse to vent his frustration.

Gin understood the meaning behind Vodka's words and immediately gave the order.

In front of Xia Chuan, Vodka pulled out his phone and said, "Everyone come in. No one is allowed to leave this underground parking lot today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, sparse footsteps sounded at the door, and one by one, men in black rushed in, completely blocking out the already dim light at the doorway.

They were like a dark veil before the light, blocking the future of the three of them.

The clicking of bullets being chambered echoed repeatedly, creating a melodious sound like a symphony.

At least that's how Gin perceived it.

"Hand over the items, or you'll die a horrible death."

“Well, Granwitt’s things were indeed in my possession, but they’re gone now. As for the gold, I think you’ve misunderstood something; we didn’t get any gold.”

Xia Chuan took a deep breath, his emotions not fluctuating much, as if those members outside the winery posed no threat to him whatsoever!
"No gold?"

Gin paused for a moment.

Xia Chuan clearly admitted to even the evidence left by Granwitt, so why doesn't he admit that the gold is in his possession? Does he think the gold is more valuable than the evidence?
Gin shook his head inwardly.

If Xia Chuan can't even see the value of evidence, then he doesn't deserve to be my enemy. I wouldn't have fallen for his tricks back then at Twilight Villa.

So, is there really no gold?
Wait, what did he just say?

The evidence passed through his hands, but it's not in his possession now!?
What does this mean?
"What do you mean? Where's the evidence?"

Vodka helped him ask the question that had been bothering him.

"Literally, this evidence is indeed useless to me. On the contrary, handing it over to the right people can maximize their interests."

"I wasn't planning on doing this, but you've all become desperate and left me with little time!"

Xia Chuan shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, he would rather keep this evidence hidden and wait for an opportunity to bring it out, but Gin's sudden appearance at Anya's hotel was a complete surprise to him.
